Hi to all, just want to say it a very nice forum and people. I been joined this forum for a couple of months now but I only posted a few. My question is, I picked up a 08 IS250 with premium package+18" wheels+preferred accessory package+HID with Adaptive lighting system for $34,849 OTD. Sticker asked for $35,651. Oh,is the OTD price including the financing cost?

Thanks in advance.

 

OTD price is the price overall, including taxes and fees.

If you got a 08 IS250 for $34, 849 Out The Door...then imo you did a good job. I paid about $34, 800 ($37,000 OTD) for my car and it was already about half a year old.

 

I have evrything that you have PLUS navigation, I bought mine for $35,200 OTD in november 2006

 

Thank you guys for the quick response.

 

I think you could of easily gotten $1,000 more off.. Your car is bascially like mine but an 08.

Here is what I got on my 2007 IS250 1.5 years ago.

MSRP was $35,222
Negociated down to $30,186
Handed them the taste of Lexus Coupon: -$750
New price: $29,436

OTD was $32,000.

Purchased 12/16/06.

You could of EASILY got it down to $30,400 ($1k under invoice). I got $1750 under invoice due to the Taste of Lexus Coupon.

Too late though, enjoy the car.

 

California pricing is different. The prices are cheaper in Cali. than anywhere else.
So what you Cali guys think is a bad deal, it might be a good deal where someone else lives.

Secondly, A good deal doesnt necessarily mean price. If the OP feels his purchase was fair, got good service, friendly and helpful staff... then he got a good deal. Thats all that matters.

I personally think that the options + 18" wheels. for $34K and change, he got a good price.

 

The OP is in CA.

 

Yea I just noticed, but nevertheless, I feel the price was fair. The upgrade to the 18" wheels is probably what affected his price

250 + 18"

 

not bad at all... now enjoy the car

 

Me too. Purchased mine in Dec 2007.

 

18"s are stock on the 250 RWD and 350. 17"s only come on the AWD, so the OP did not get an upgrade. The OP still achived a fair price.

 

"How did I do?"

Well, you bought the car you wanted at a price that you found acceptable.

I think you're doing fine, especially with an IS in hand...

 

Agreed. The IS is a great value in its class, and is so sweet inside and out. Even if you paid $1,000 too much, if you have the car 4 years that's $250/year and it's worth that to have the car.

 

It's a done deal now and you can't return the car just because some people got their cars cheaper. Just enjoy your new ride and I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it. Congrats on your new car and welcome to CL.
As far as pricing, it's a reasonable price. Maybe dealerships are selling them higher than before because of the gas price. With gas price over $4/gal(premium) ppl are buying smaller engines. Law of supply and demand. Just my 2 cents.
